Fancy Betancur to win LBL or Lombardia. Sagan will tear it up in the classics and win at least two. Cancellara will be focusing on the hour. Cav to win fuck all stages at the Tour. Froome to crash out in week one.

I want to see Cancellara take on (and take) the Hour record. The rest of 2014 is just a big dope-filled, WWF wrestling-esque masqurade of lies, damn lies and power meters.

I vaguely recall the rules for this being set at 1970s technology. Would be nice if Fabs ends up on here bidding for some ancient frame and wheels and haggling over the price of some c-record cranks...

Yeah, they changed the rules so it's now the Athlete's Hour and must be conducted using a standard position on a Merckx type bike, ie. spoked wheels, metal tube frame, no aero aids, etc. The UCI were worried the positions and aero bikes were taking away from the rider's performance during the record.

This doesn't stop riders working within the UCIs silly rules like Sosenka who apparently used a very heavy rear wheel for flywheel effect and super long frames within whatever morphological rules they came up with to limit positions.
